If you're wise beyond your years, own a lightsaber, and possess Jedi mind tricks, your dream job might just be less than a galaxy away.

A British family is on the hunt for a Star Wars "megafan" to help teach their dyslexic son get through his fifth grade English.

Watch the moment a bald eagle is rescued from an octopus

The incident happened Dec. 9, 2019, as John Ilett and his coworkers were wrapping up work on the north side of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Ilett told CBC that they "heard a lot of screeching" and "splashing sounds" before they came upon the bird and cephalopod in the water, locked in combat.

More 'Baby Yoda' tweets and memes from to get you through the week

The third episode of Disney Plus' new series "The Mandalorian" premiered Nov. 22, 2019, and with it came a new wave of viral tweets all celebrating the small green "Baby Yoda."

The show has yet to reveal a name for the little being, so fans have taken to simply calling it "Baby Yoda." This show takes place after "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi," which means it's not literally young Yoda (though it could be his clone). But the term has stuck anyways, and even the show's pilot episode director Dave Filoni says the name "Baby Yoda" is perfectly acceptable until we know more about it.

So for now, let's just enjoy all of the viral tweets about this small baby who the entire world will protect at all costs.

Check out United's new 'Star Wars'-themed Boeing 737 plane

Luke Skywalker may have claimed the Millennium Falcon was a "piece of junk" when he first saw it (even though it could, you know, make point-five past lightspeed) — but he probably wouldn't be saying that about United Airlines' shiny new Boeing 737-800.

To celebrate the December 2019 theatrical release of "The Rise of Skywalker," billed as the last film in the nine-film Skywalker saga, the airline has launched a special "Star Wars"-themed plane — and though it can't travel at lightspeed, it does look pretty spiffy, or at least nothing at all like the heavily modified ship of a certain scruffy-looking nerf herder (sorry, Han Solo).

The plane made its first flight earlier this month, from Houston to Orlando, Florida. Though there were plenty of evil First Order stormtroopers on hand, thankfully no one was taken away for questioning by Kylo Ren.

Here's what the plane is like inside.

Here's why 'Terminator: Dark Fate' could be the end of the franchise

The latest movie in the long-running "Terminator" series, "Terminator: Dark Fate," reeled in just $29 million in the US over the weekend and has made $123 million total worldwide so far. The domestic opening is well below studio projections and a disappointing result for a movie that cost $185 million to produce and millions more to market.

"Dark Fate" stands to lose more than $120 million for the studios Skydance Media, Paramount, and Fox, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Fox handled international distribution, marking another post-Disney merger flop for Fox's film business, which suffered a $170 million third-quarter operating loss earlier this year.

8 very good boys and girls who are military heroes

Our military does an incredible job of protecting our global interests, but they don't do it alone. They've got a bunch of very good doggies that help them out.

Case in point: President Donald Trump announced in October 2019 that a military dog named Conan played a role in the raid against ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in northwest Syria, but he's far from the first dog to help out the military.

Dogs have been working as bomb sniffers, message carriers, and guards for US military branches since at least World War I, when a stray Boston bull terrier wandered on to an Army training field and went on to become a unit's mascot as they traveled to Europe.
